Homework for Tuesday, October 16. and Thursday, October 18
As we discussed and began in class, write your Gettysburg Address. You do not have to include all of Lincoln's rhetorical devices by today, but at least have a statement that is about as long as the Gettysburg Address. We'll continue to work on adding the rhetorical devices in class. The complete version, with all of Lincoln's rhetorical devices, is due Thursday, October 18. You will read them in class on Wednesday, October 24.
